Task 2
Reading Passage:
Title: New Parking Policy for Campus
The university administration has recently implemented a new parking policy that requires all students to purchase a parking permit in order to park on campus. The purpose of this policy is to address the increasing parking congestion and ensure fair access to parking spaces for all students.
According to the new policy, students must obtain a parking permit from the Campus Parking Office before bringing their vehicles on campus. The permits will be valid for one academic year and will be available for purchase at a reasonable fee. This measure aims to discourage unauthorized parking and ensure that parking spaces are reserved for students who have obtained the necessary permits.
The implementation of the parking policy will provide several benefits. Firstly, it will alleviate the current parking congestion, which has been a persistent issue on campus. With a regulated parking system, students will have a higher chance of finding available parking spaces. Secondly, the revenue generated from parking permits will be used to improve parking facilities and invest in sustainable transportation options, such as bike-sharing programs and electric vehicle charging stations.
While this policy has received support from many students, some concerns have been raised. Critics argue that the cost of the parking permits may burden students financially, especially those who commute to campus regularly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the process of obtaining permits is convenient and efficient to avoid long waiting times and administrative issues.
Overall, the new parking policy aims to address the parking congestion issue on campus and improve access to parking spaces for students. By implementing this policy, the university administration seeks to create a fair and sustainable parking system that benefits the entire student community.

My Answer:
The campus tried to alleviate the congestion parking issue of the campus by issuing permit in advance for students who wants to parking their vehicle on the campus.

Task 3
Reading Passage:
The Rise of Social Media as a Political Tool
Social media has revolutionized the way political movements and activism operate in the modern world. This powerful tool has transformed traditional modes of communication and has provided individuals with unprecedented opportunities to express their opinions and mobilize others for political causes. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become virtual battlegrounds for political debates and have played a pivotal role in shaping public opinion.
One of the key aspects of social media's impact on politics is its ability to amplify voices that were previously marginalized or ignored. In the past, political discourse was dominated by established media outlets, leaving little room for alternative viewpoints. However, with the advent of social media, individuals who were previously excluded from the political sphere now have the means to voice their concerns and mobilize support for their causes. This inclusivity has empowered marginalized communities and provided a platform for previously underrepresented perspectives.
Furthermore, social media has revolutionized political campaigning. Candidates can now directly engage with voters, bypassing traditional intermediaries such as television networks or newspapers. They can craft their own messages, target specific demographics, and receive instant feedback from their followers. This has transformed the way political campaigns are conducted, making them more interactive and dynamic. Social media's ability to reach large audiences quickly and cost-effectively has leveled the playing field for aspiring politicians, allowing them to compete with established political figures.

Student: That's really interesting. The passage also mentions how social media has transformed political campaigning. How does that work?
Professor: Well, political candidates can now directly engage with voters through social media platforms. They can share their policy proposals, connect with supporters, and even fundraise online. This direct interaction with the electorate has changed the dynamics of political campaigns, making them more personalized and interactive.
The question:
How has social media transformed political campaigns and made them more interactive and accessible to aspiring politicians?
